SAUGERTIES — The man who helped bring the world the 1969 Woodstock festival has teamed up with electronic dance music promoters with plans to bring a new age of music to Saugerties this summer.

For the first time since Woodstock '94, the bucolic fields of Winston Farms would be filled with crowds and music again — this time dubbed The Hudson Music and Arts Festival.

Michael Lang, one of the organizers of the original Woodstock Music & Art Festival in 1969, is helping to spearhead the project. It won approval from the Saugerties Planning Board in December.

"It's the first time anything's been there since 1994," Lang said.

The project, organized by Denver-based promotion outfit MCP Presents and financed by Manhattan-based SFX Entertainment, still needs approvals from Ulster County and the state.

A state Department of Health spokesman confirmed they've received an application for a mass-gathering permit for the concert.

Those organizing the event quietly have been meeting with Ulster County Executive Mike Hein's administration to work out logistics and permits. His office didn't return calls for comment.

Ulster County Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum said he's been made aware of the event, but his office hasn't started the nitty gritty of planning yet.

"It's definitely not a sure thing yet," Van Blarcum said.

Saugerties Supervisor Greg Helsmoortel, who took office this January from Kelly Myers, said a key piece of the approval process might have been skipped. He said he wasn't sure if a public comment period was conducted and that, even if it wasn't legally necessary, he felt it should have been done.

Nonetheless, Helsmoortel said he was "very open" to the idea of the concert.

Saugerties raked in more than $1 million in fees from Woodstock '94, and documents show they could receive 50 cents per ticket sold if organizers pull off this summer's concert.

Documents show tickets would cost between $150 to $200, plus camping fees.

Plans show the concert would be a big one — hosting rock, electronic, indie and hip-hop music, with a maximum capacity of 30,000 people.

They expect to sell 20,000 to 25,000 tickets, have 20 to 40 food vendors and sell beer to those 21 and older.

Tentatively, the show would be from July 10-13 and host 80 acts, 500 artists and include a roving force of more than 300 private security guards. Paramedics and EMTs also would be on site 24 hours a day, plans say. Drugs would be prohibited.

Lang said conversations are ongoing with artists, but nothing's been confirmed.

"We're very excited about this," Lang said, adding that more concerts in years to come are a possibility. He said county and state regulators seem to be on board, so far.

MCP Presents have put on other popular electronic music events such as Camp Bisco in Schenectady County and CounterPoint in Atlanta. Those events attracted well-known acts, such as Skrillex, BassNectar, Macklemore and rapper Big Boi, but also some negative media attention for drug use and overdoses among some festivalgoers.
